According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United States in 2008 was 304 million people. In addition, the population of the United States was growing at a rate of 1.1% per year. Assuming this growth rate continues, the model t-2008 P(t) = 304 (1.011)* represents the population P (in millions of people) in year t. According to the model, when will the population be 372 million people? Be sure to round your answer to the nearest whole year. Year
